It's Not Easy

~Ten~

Of course just after celebrating New Years, Ben has to go away for a tour. I didn't mind too much, knowing this is what came with dating a guy who's in a band. Of course though, he thought it'd be a great idea to ask me to look after the girls while he was gone since this would be the first tour they weren't going on.

"I'll miss you." Ben smiled, pulling me closer to him.

"I'll miss your comfy memory foam mattress." I mumbled into his chest.

"Thanks." He said, his voice flat.

"You know I'm going to miss you." I told Ben, looking up at him.

"You should be allowed to come with me." He said, kissing my forehead.

"Not happening." I laughed, rolling onto my stomach, and holding myself up with my arms. "I get severely motion sick, I don't want to see all the girls that throw themselves at you and I have a job I need to do, especially since I plan on going back to school in September."

"So many excuses." He smirked, rolling his eyes.

"Shut up." I punched his chest lightly. "We should get out of bed."

"Nooo!" Ben whined, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me down into him.

I rolled my eyes, and cuddled into his side. "It's almost noon, didn't Alyssa say they'd be home for 12:30?"

"They'll have to get over you being here, they're going to see you for the next four months." He replied quickly.

I held back a groan, and closed my eyes. "Well, I at least want coffee."

The two of us headed down into the kitchen, in desperate need of coffee. I got out two mugs and quickly made coffee for the two of us. We sat down together, drinking our coffee and of course the twins showed up.

"Ugh." Haven rolled her eyes. "Of course the day before you go."

"I thought we were spending the day together?" Alyssa said, sitting across from the two of us.

"We will." Ben told her. "But, first I'm going to talk to the two of you, while I'm gone Anastasia's going to be keeping an eye on you, since you've never been home alone before and I'll be gone for four months."

"We're getting a babysitter?" Haven asked.

"I'm not babysitting. I'll just be here every once in awhile, bringing in groceries and whatever. I don't plan on being her often at all." I snapped back at Haven. "Anyways, I have to get out of here."

"Oh." Ben looked at me confused.

"I'll talk to you later handsome." I smiled at him. "I love you."

I kissed him quickly before sliding my shoes on, grabbing my purse, and walking out of the house. These next four months were going to be terrible.
